System – SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing
devices on IP networks. It consists of a set of standards for network management, including
an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects. SNMP exposes
management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe the system
configuration. These variables can then be queried (and sometimes set) by managing applications.
In the System » SNMP Page, you can configure SNMP V2c and SNMP V3.
SNMP Information
In the SNMP Information section, the text fields for the SNMP Enterprise ID, Contact, and
Location information is shown.
SNMP Configuration
Image 25
Enable SNMP
Enables SNMP
SNMP V2c Read
Password
Sets the community string for read-only access (to the variables on the SNMP agent)
by the network management station (NMS). The NMS is the software which runs on
the SNMP manager. (default: public)
SNMP V2c Write
Password
Sets the community string for read-write access by the SNMP manager. (default: private)
A community string identifies a group of SNMP agents. It is sent in clear text. It
should be changed from the default string “public” or “private”. The variables on the
SNMP agent can be classified into read-only or read-write variables.
SNMP V3 Username Sets the username for authentication. (default: admin)
SNMP V3 Auth
Algorithm
Shows the authentication algorithm used e.g. MD5.
SNMP V3 Password Configures the password for user authentication. (default: password)
SNMP V3 Privacy
Algorithm
Shows the data encryption algorithm used e.g. DES.
SNMP V3 Privacy
Password
Sets the password for data encryption. (default: password)
